Nurbong Estate First Flush Organic Darjeeling from Iford Manor Teas

Grinnyguy drank Nurbong Estate First Flush Organic Darjeeling by Iford Manor Teas

It’s taken me three or four tries to get this tea right, something which I probably should have expected as it’s quite cheap on the scale of First Flush Darjeelings. Now I’ve got it right, though, it’s absolutely delicious and I know exactly why I tell people that First Flush Darjeelings are my favourite type of tea. So sweet and gentle, I just love drinking it.

For the record, the trick is to use slightly more leaves than usual, use water at 85degC and steep for 1.5 mins or thereabouts.
